Summary
President Joe Biden's 2025 federal budget is a $7.3 trillion proposal for the fiscal year running from October 1, 2024, to September 30, 2025. The budget emphasizes social programs, such as restoring the 2021 American Rescue Plan's Child Tax Credit and reforming unemployment insurance, while proposing significant tax increases on high-wealth individuals and corporations, including a 25 percent minimum tax on households with over $100 million in assets. While the administration projects a $3 trillion deficit reduction over a decade, critics like David Friedberg argue that the high levels of federal spending and debt create economic dependency and push the limits of taxation. Ultimately, the federal government operated under a full-year continuing resolution passed in March 2025, which largely extended the 2024 budget levels for the 2025 fiscal year.
